The Curse of Wrigley Field

This is the part of the season where the little things make you happy.  The Cubs are bad, but they can still hurt you. And that’s what happened to the Dodgers this weekend.  They’re not clinging to a razor thing lead in the NL West.

The Cubs made six errors on Tuesday, but they still won the game.  A five run fifth inning was capped off by a two run double by Matt Murton.  Cesar Izturis got it done in the eleventh when he singled home Juan Mateo in the eleventh.  The Cubs used just about every player on their roster in this one. 

Wednesday’s game was ugly.  The Cubs were held to nothing on seven hits.  Angel Guzman lasted only four innings and he’s now 0-6. 

Thursday, the Cubs bounced back though.  Aramis Ramirez hit a huge three run shot in the seventh to give the Cubs a 6-5 lead.  It was Ramirez’s 100th RBI of the season on the hit and Angel Pagan drove in two runs in the win.  

Next up is three against the Red.  Maybe we can bury them too.
